Pour Over Coffee Dripper

Does pour over coffee taste better? That’s up for debate, but there’s certainly something relaxing about mastering a brewing technique that requires patience. This Pour Over Coffee Dripper by Tetsuya Otani is beautifully crafted, so you’ll enjoy the aesthetics of your preparation as well as the taste of the finished brew.(more…)

3D Puzzle Dinosaurs and Insects

I know you don’t need more clutter around your desktop, but these 3D puzzles are small, fun, and inexpensive. Maybe you could get a few to encourage coworkers little ones to use their brain skills for something other than staring at their phones? They’d be fun puzzles to keep out on shelves, or to disassemble for another day.(more…)

Standing Pens

A special, standing pen! It won’t walk away from the reception’s guestbook, because it’s a big pen with geometric heft, and can’t be tucked into a pants pocket easily (without an obvious bulge, that is). The tip is easily removable for refill with any ballpoint pen cartridge. Available in several colors and three different shapes.(more…)

Concrete Brain Bookends

Braaiiins!! Feel free to pretend you’re a zombie, and walk around disjointedly with your arms extended and your head cocked to the side whilst saying that, as it’s entirely appropriate. Just don’t bite into this particular brain, as the two hemispheres are made of concrete. Designer Bertrand Jayr brings these smart bookends to our bookshelves- they’re excellent pieces of heavy ‘gray matter’ to hold your books in place.(more…)

Concentric Wall Light

You can’t afford a commissioned Turrell light installation in your living room, but maybe you can afford a Concentric Wall Light from Marset. It’s still expensive, sure, but if you’re a big fan of glowing color, you’re going to like the options you get from the concentric design, especially in the dark.(more…)

Bo Light

Yes, you just saw the Hiline Lighting, but this new Bo Light from Massess is something else. Shaped like an archery bow, a slim strip of solid oak is tensioned by wire, which magically doubles as the light switch. Simply touch the wire to activate the imbedded LEDs for a diffused light on the wall or tabletop. Watch the video below to see it in action.(more…)

Lillagunga Rings

Get these Lillagunga Rings and your kids (or nieces/nephews) will never say you didn’t encourage their gymnastic skills. Worst case scenario is that they’ll injure themselves; best case scenario is that they’ll wear themselves out whilst developing muscle strength. Maybe they’ll even have fun. The rings are designed to be comfortable in the hand and height is easily adjustable.(more…)

X’s And O’s Hook

You may not like shopping at a retailer known for furnishing dorm rooms, but these X’s and O’s Hooks fit everyone’s budget. They’re not going to hold winter coats, of course, but for jewelry and smaller accessories, they might just be the perfect thing. They look a little jewelry-ish on their own, which gives a delicate touch to your dressing area.(more…)

Weathering Steel Obelisk Chiminea

An outdoor chiminea is just what your patio needs for cooler summer or autumn nights. Thankfully, your modern sensibilities won’t be offended by this obelisk-shaped option. Made from a single piece of weathering steel, the body will develop a stable, rust-like finish over time, letting it blend in to the surrounding landscape.(more…)

Moon Lamp

Do you need a moon lamp? Hmm, maybe you could justify the purchase if you plan to study the Moon’s craters, elevation and ridges for scientific research… or artistic inspiration? The Moon Lamp is a 1:20 million replica, done in an expertly crafted mold*, that has an LED ring that revolves around the globe to recreate lunar phases as seen from our planet. Pretty cool, right?(more…)

Wylie Hose Reel

An attractive… hose reel? Yep, and this one is made from high-gauge aluminum, powder-coated in white, black, or silver. Will this make watering plants or washing the car easier? Probably not, but you’ll at least like the look of the hose in its home.(more…)

Citronella by Fredericks and Mae

You’re familiar with citronella and its insect repelling properties, but have you ever seen it hung in a coil, like a strange sort of light fixture? Probably not, and that in itself is worth our attention, or at least a nod of appreciation.(more…)

Golden Ratio Sticky Notes

You know all about the golden ratio, and appreciate its premise, so why not have some sticky notes that pays homage to the tradition? Four different sizes of notes are included in one pad, so you can have whatever size you need right at your fingertips.(more…)

Hiline Lighting

You can make your own deconstructed, utilitarian lighting, but will your attempt look as good as these Hiline pieces? And, while we’re considering your skills, let’s reflect on the price of the Hiline Spotlight, Sconce, and Pendant, and think about if it’s worth the time and effort to make your own, or if it’s best to just support someone else that’s doing it right. I vote on the latter.(more…)
